Funny that the car talk in the forums yesterday touched on the subject of
minivans... Sure enough being car-less in the suburbs was an immediately
untenable position, leading to a trip to the rent-a-car place, where I ended up
renting a Chrysler Pacifica for a couple of days. I gotta say, it's pretty
nice... it's pretty motivated for a big vehicle with a V-6 and handles quite
nicely for a front driver. It's just hard adjusting to my new temporary image as
a soccer mom.
